We think our religion says that we have a direct command from God to proselytize Jews, and everyone else.

So why is it that the Catholic Church seems to be the only church in America that doesn't proselytize? And why to Catholics scream bloody murder every time some poor sap knocks at their door and asks "are you saved?"

We do proselytize, although perhaps not in the way you're used to seeing Protestants do it. (There are theological reasons for that; it's not only cultural.)

Because those Catholics are the ones who don't know their faith.

Wow. Overgeneralize much?
